This book fills a gap in the current literature by demonstrating how to implement CBT with diverse clients. It stresses cultural sensitivity to ethnoracial considerations, with attention to evidence-based practice.As much of the available data is skewed toward White, Western populations, this book explores what empirically supported treatments can be suitable for other groups.Throughout, the connection between research and effective practice is maintained, and clinical guidelines are presented.Geared toward professionals of any discipline, the material offers a solid foundation for the understanding and efficacious treatment of a range of ethnoracially diverse clients.
